SFX

SFX is a technology that allows easy linking from records in bibliographic databases, in library catalogues or from
web search results to full texts of documents searched for and provides other value added services. The service is
intended for students and employees of TBU and is available inside the IP range of TBU. For access to electronic
information resources of TBU from another location, it is recommended to use remote access in order for the SFX service
to function properly.

The SFX services are available in the information sources listed in the Sources section. Please click on the SFX
button to get the SFX services (this may vary depending on the source visited).

The most common SFX icons:

Crossref:

TBU uses the Crossref services. By clicking on
this link you can register the TBU SFX server with CrossRef. When linking with the use of DOIs, you will be
directed via the DOI resolver to the university SFX server, and not to the website of the publisher of the electronic
journal. SFX will redirect you to a copy of the journal in the relevant database subscribed to by TBU.

bX Service:

bX is a unique service that offers recommendations of related documents to the users within the SFX services
offered. It is based on an analysis of data from many SFX instances worldwide. Thus, the users receive a representative
list of documents that could be of interest to them.

The bX menu is not always displayed; only if the recommendations are available for the document found. Frequently
cited and verified journals have a greater probability of success.

Sources:

Sources in the context of SFX services are databases and other information resources, where users can work only with
bibliographic records and abstracts of the document found. It is recommended to use the SFX service precisely for
linking to full texts (if available) and for using additional services.

Targets:

The following SFX targets have been defined: Full text databases, electronic books as well as services which may be
useful for the users (e.g. search of information about the relevant journal, availability of the required document in
the Czech Republic, possible creation of a citation at Citace.com, etc.).

SFX services supporting R&D at TBU:

SFX services also support R&D at TBU. Many additional services have been activated in the system in order to
obtain a complete overview of evaluated journals, impact factors and other citation information.

Examples of active services provided to R&D:
Journals indexed in the SCOPUS database
Overview of journals indexed in JCR including information about their location in the relevant category
List of reviewed non-indexed periodicals published in the Czech Republic
List of periodicals in the ERIH including information about their location in the relevant category and
specialization
Information about publishers' policies in the SHERPA/RoMEO database
Rating of a journal in the Scientific Journal
Ranking (SJR) Rating of a journal in the CWTS Journal Indicators
and many others...
